Florida State holds its annual senior day festivities on Saturday against Delaware State.

The Seminoles will honor 17 seniors before the game including defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, linebackers Matthew Thomas and Roderick Hoskins, and safety Trey Marshall.

FSU comes in with a 3-6 record on the season, and is 3-5 in ACC play with wins over Wake Forest, Duke, and Syracuse. The Seminoles have losses to Alabama, North Carolina State, Miami, Louisville, Boston College, and Clemson.

DSU is 2-8, and has lost by a combined 139-16 to the two Power-5 opponents --Missouri and West Virginia -- that it has played this season.

Why FSU wins

This game shouldn't even be a contest after the first quarter. The Seminoles are the vastly more talented football team, and Delaware State is one of the worst teams in the FCS.

FSU will use this game to build some confidence for its young players -- particularly James Blackman -- after his struggles over the past few weeks.

It will also be a chance for the Seminoles to pad some stats. The offense is still on pace to be the worst scoring offense at FSU since 1975.

They will also use this game as a tune-up for rival Florida, which is the main opponent standing in the way of FSU and bowl eligibility.

Stat of the game

The Seminoles have yet to score over 28 points in a game this season. The 2016 team scored 30 points or more nine times, and no team since Jimbo Fisher took over the program in 2010 has scored at least 30 points in less than six games (2015) in a season.

Key to the game

Get some confidence. FSU has played all nine games this season against Power-5 opponents including the Nos. 1, 2, and 3 teams in the country this season. This is a chance for FSU to go out, have some fun, and let it rip against an opponent that is going to be outmatched in every phase of the game.

Prediction

FSU is going to hit some big plays, and not only will the Seminoles hit the 30 point threshold, they'll blow by it. Cam Akers will have a big game on the ground and pass Greg Allen (888 yards) for second on the all-time single season rushing list by a true freshman. James Blackman will build some confidence and throw a couple touchdowns. Give me the 'Noles 49-7.
